Silene Seeds None-So-Pretty!

A little known but worthy annual, Silene seeds will produce a bevy of pink/purple/magenta clusters just 1 to 2 feet tall. The common name of Catchfly or Nodding Catchfly originates from its ability to trap small insects by the sticky sap exuded onto the stem, so plant Silene seeds in your bee and butterfly garden.

Give this low-growing annual a chance – it’s one of the very easiest wildflowers to grow, it blooms heavily, grows quickly, and will return next year if its seeds fall on bare ground.
